Here we go again . . . . . . . . .

The bikes have been prepared, the routes planned, the training is underway and the team have been kitted out in a very fashionable white lycra covered in red polka dots!!

Having conquered the western coast of France last year, we are continuing the journey from Bordeaux and will be pedalling hard for Barcelona in early June.

The distance we will be covering is about 460 miles in just over 5 days - quite a challenge considering that we need to go over the Pyrenees to get to Barcelona. 

We have decided that this year we will use the ride to raise funds for Sport Relief and it would be great if you could support this worthy cause and provide me with some extra encouragement to cover the miles. You can donate now via the link on this page.

For updates on our training and to check our progress towards Barcelona between 8-13th of June, you can tune into BBC WM 95.6FM between 6.30-9.30am Monday-Friday for the Phil Upton Breakfast Show (Phil is part of the team and needs some more listeners!).

Many thanks

Stuart
